It depends (and varies). It really all comes down to what you want to do with your page. And personally, wouldn't use the same lay-out for each and every page, because that's boring and you'll quickly lose your readers' attention.

There are no fixed rules for panelling (shape, size, location, amount), as long as you respect the rules of eye-guiding (not an official term). Always remember that your panels must guide your reader's eyes through the page in a natural way. Up - down, left - right (or right - left if you're doing a manga).

Other than that, panelling is just something you must learn to get a feeling for. Personally, I try to let my pages have 3-5 panels each. Sometimes I bump it up to 6-8, but only if I have a good reason (like showing multiple actions/angles/whatever, which take place in a short timespan). And sometimes I only do 2 large panels. Those are just for dramatic shots, action pages, and establishing shots (large panned out shot of a character's surroundings to show where they are, before zooming in and going on with the story), etc.

Like I said, how many frames you put into a comic depends entirely on what you want to do.

Gags often have many panels if they are long and contain lots of dialogue. But they can also just have a few panels.

Action pages tend to have three panels at most, unless you're going for a fast-sequence. In that case you use several smaller shots.

Calm scenes tend to have lots of horizontal or vertical panels in them. 4-5 panels max. Pages with establishing shots only have 2-3 panels each. If you want to go even further, you can do a splash page (that's an establishing shot spread out over two entire pages (1/2 panels, each? Lol.)).

Oh and you can use panel orientation to create certain feelings and sensations too. Vertical panels suggest height, and are perfect to show off tall buildings, trees, people, etc. A horizontal panel emphasizes the horizon, and works well when you want to show a landscape without tall structures, or a very zoomed out shot. It's also a great shape to emphasize horizontal speed. Draw a running character in a horizontal panel, and another in a vertical one. The one in the horizontal panel will seem much faster.

Does that help, or did I ramble too much and too long? ^^

Can somebody please tell me where to get some good sprites? I can't find them anywhere! And with this I mean the sprites from the overworld, not the full sprites but they're welcome too.
